If you are like me than, these quotes are very fitting. I dream up plots, characters, and story ideas. I can wake up at 4:30 am with a tidbit of sort that must be jotted down. Sometimes they pan out sometimes I’m looking at my hand writing and scratching my head going, “What was I thinking?” I use to sleep with a tape recorder beside my bed; I really don’t know what happen to that.

But I love weaving plots, creating characters and getting it down. It helps keeps me balance.

I love the idea of writing challenges they get you out of that rut and narrows your focus on the task at hand.

Day 3 – of Camp NaNoWriMo:

Last night I did almost boil a pot to death and its only day 3! Focus … it’s funny that I’m talking about focus like it’s something I might be lacking. Ask anyone who really knows me and they can confirm I don’t lack FOCUS. I am grateful I didn’t burn the pot or I’d never hear the end of that as well. My darling family does keep a tally of these things. It’s lovely when the whole family are writers too because we all have our quirks. Sadly I am the only one who has burned some dinners while writing.

But Day 3 – the aim is 1613 words per day … we have 31 days in July my goal is 50,000 words! Day three and I am at 5029 words so a little ahead of the game.

Not a bad start to kick off my story of “Angels in the Dark Helvetica’s Curse” which is book two of my series Angels in the Dark.
